I don't know many women interested in one night stands. Maybe friends with benefits, but not a lot of one night standers. The top reason being it takes time to train a new partner.

Maybe women in their 20s want a "hot guy" but most women learn pretty early on that the typical hot guy doesn't have to try to get women and therefore never learns anything about us or what we like. I haven't dated a stereotypical hot guy since I was like 22. Hard pass every time.

I've dated a few men that were shorter than average - the issue usually ends up being their hang up about being short. "Little man syndrome" is a real thing. Confidence reigns supreme in the dating game. Always has. Always will.

I dated a guy that was probably about 5'5" who was hilarious and delightful to be around. It didn't work out because he was religious and I am anti-religion. Long story short, I thought I'd give it a try because I live in a very religious state, but when he announced he was waiting for marriage to have sex, I bailed.

Most women want to feel safe with their man. They don't want to feel like they have to be the protector. So yes, it's definitely biological.
